The electron pairs in an ammonium ion are disposed along the four lines from the center of a tetrahedron to the four corners of the tetrahedron, with the nitrogen atom at the center of the tetrahedron.
The element hydrogen forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion, which is +1. When hydrogen loses an electron, it becomes a hydrogen ion with a +1 charge, just like the ammonium ion.
The NO2- ion has one lone electron pair.
It is considered an Ionic bond. Ammonium donates an electron and nitrate accepts an electron. By itself, ammonium ion is a molecular compound and the nitrate ion is a molecular compound, but when combined they are considered to be ionic. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.
The ammonium ion forms when an ammonia molecule (NH3) takes a hydrogen ion (H+) either from an acid or from water. The positive charge on the hydrogen ion is taken over into the new ammonium ion.
The Lewis structure for ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) consists of an ammonium ion (NH4+) bonded to a chloride ion (Cl-). The nitrogen atom in NH4+ has a lone pair of electrons, forming coordinate covalent bonds with the four hydrogen atoms. The chloride ion has a full octet.

The hybridization of the valence electrons on the nitrogen atom in NO+ is sp. The electron pair geometry is linear, and the shape of the ion is also linear.
carbonate ion is having trigonal planar geometry
The electron pair geometry of Br3 (tribromide ion) is trigonal planar. This is due to the presence of three bromine atoms bonded to a central bromine atom, with no lone pairs on the central atom. The arrangement minimizes electron pair repulsion according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory.
The molecular geometry of the AsO2- ion is bent (because of the lone electron pair with the central arsenic atom, making the O-As-O bond angle very obtuse) but its electron domain geometry is trigonal planar because there are three domains, with a 120 deg. angle between them.
The electron pair geometry for the iodate ion (IO2) is trigonal planar. This is because the central iodine atom is surrounded by three areas of electron density: two bonding pairs from the iodine-oxygen bonds and one lone pair. The arrangement of these electron pairs minimizes repulsion, resulting in a trigonal planar shape.
Its actually electron pair repulsion. Its the principle that electron pairs around a central atom tend to orient themselves as far apart as possible. Electron pair repulsion is used to predict the geometry of a molecule or a polyatomic ion.
The formula for the ammonium ion is NH4+. It has a positive charge of +1 due to donating one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The electron pair geometry of the borate ion (BO3^3−) is trigonal planar. This is because the central boron atom is surrounded by three oxygen atoms, with no lone pairs on the boron. The bond angles are approximately 120 degrees, reflecting the arrangement of the electron pairs in a planar configuration.
The electron geometry of OCN⁻ (cyanate ion) is trigonal planar, as it has three regions of electron density around the central carbon atom: one double bond to oxygen and a single bond to nitrogen, along with a lone pair of electrons. The molecular geometry is also trigonal planar because the lone pair does not affect the shape in this case, allowing for the same arrangement of the bonded atoms.
The element hydrogen forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion, which is +1. When hydrogen loses an electron, it becomes a hydrogen ion with a +1 charge, just like the ammonium ion.
The electron-domain geometry for the chlorate ion (ClO3-) is trigonal pyramidal. This geometry arises from the three bonding pairs of electrons between chlorine and the three oxygen atoms, along with one lone pair of electrons on the chlorine atom. The presence of the lone pair affects the shape, leading to the pyramidal arrangement.
